Running around the house with scissors (just seeing if you were still paying attention)

Desserts

I dare you to pick that one habit/behavior that you don’t want choose because you think it is going to be too hardand stick to it for 28-days. The bigger the risk the bigger the reward!

If you choose to accept the 28- Day Challenge please let me know what you are adding or subtracting. I would like to help you along the way.

If you think changing one of your habits will impact your body and you want to take measurements before we start and after let me know and we will schedule a time to take measurements (Body composition and tape measurements of arms, hips, and waist).

Lets end the summer what some healthy positive changes!

Make it a great week!

Committed to Your Success,

Adam

P.S. Tell me the habit you are changing and I will tell you mine!

P.P.S. If you have a friend or family that would like to do this with us invite them along. The more the better!

The secret weapon I am going to use to drop a few percentage points of body fat during the Transformation Contest in a meal system called Meal Movement. Two of the most common complaints I hear from our members is 1. I don’t have time to cook healthy meals for myself and 2. I don’t like the way “healthy” food tastes. Meal Movement solves both of these problems with fully cooked delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that take about 2 minutes to prepare.

I know what you are thinking and I thought the same thing. NO WAY!!!! I know a gimmick when I see one and this is too good to be true. It isn’t too good to be true. I purchased the lunches and dinners last Fall and they not only tasted great and it only took about 2 minutes to prepare. The meals worked great for a quick lunch and a quick dinner after a long day in the gym.

I don’t believe this is a permanent solution to fat loss but it is a great option for people who don’t have time to cook healthy meals and want something that tastes good. Also, if you are someone who struggles with portion control all the guess work is taken out. Everything is pre-measured when prepared.

Mr. Wheeler, a Science teacher at W.B. Ray High School has an ongoing experiment with his Nutrition and Science class. I thought you might like to read about it.

The 6-Month Old McDonald’s Cheeseburger

“The attached photo is of a ongoing science experiment that my students performed in Nutrition and Science Class. Funny thing is you will not see any mold, bacteria, or deterioration of any kind. Something to ponder the next time your deciding on where to eat…perhaps a few too many preservatives.”

And millions of people eat this everyday. Pretty scary! Think before you eat!

We highly recommend both veteran and new campers carve out an hour of their day this upcoming Saturday morning for this tour as nutrition is 80-90% of the body composition puzzle.

Here are just some of the topics that will be covered:

– How to use nutrient timing and carb cycling to burn belly fat

– Is it worth eating organic?

– Is beef bad for you?

– What’s the difference between organic and natural?

– The “dirty dozen” and the “clean fifteen” produce items that everyone must know about

– The 2 ingredients you must avoid at all costs if you want to be lean and healthy

– Saturated Fat, Cholesterol, and Heart Disease- is there a connection?

– Is it okay to eat eggs every day?

– Good Carbs vs. Bad Carbs

– Good Fats vs. Bad Fats

– How to shop on a budget

– The ideal grocery list

– How to read a food label

– The 3 best fish to eat

– The top vegan and vegetarian protein alternatives

– How product placement is expanding your waistline

– Which is better: sugar or artificial sweeteners?

– What are the best supplements and are they even necessary?

– Is it okay to drink coffee?

– And much more!!

Since good nutrition should be a family affair, we are happy to welcome any friends, significant others, or family members who may want to join you for this in-depth grocery store tour.

If your grocery store buddies would like to try out our camp our regular referral rewards program will take into effect including a $25 gift card if they join our regular camp.

Plus, all campers who bring a buddy will be entered into a raffle to win a $25, $15 or a $10 gift card to HEB so they can get some fat-burning, muscle-building foods right there on the spot!!

Lastly, we hold a grocery store tour monthly so if you are for some reason unable to make this tour please be sure to make the next one.

We look forward to seeing you all there and hopefully you will bring some buddies along with you.

See below for a done-for-you email and facebook post template you can use to help spread the word about the tour and make your life a little easier 😉

Join me for an upcoming grocery store tour that my fitness program “PINNACLE FITNESS BOOTCAMPS” is holding at HEB on Robert and Alameda this Saturday at 8am. It’s open and free of charge to any of my buddies and this is a must if you want to learn how to eat to burn belly fat and tighten and tone your entire body. Please let me know if you’d like to join me so I know to expect you. Here are the directions to HEB:

Corpus Christi, TX 78412

Here’s a real slick new way to spread the word on FB and go viral very quickly to help you get as many buddies as possible and a gift certificate.

You can now tag your friends in your status or post. Type @ and then type the friend’s name.

For example: “It’s time to get my fitness on!! I’m doing a killer bootcamp workout with @John Smith.”

Please RSVP if you will be joining us on Saturday at HEB this Saturday.

There are several reasons we take a week-off at the end of each three week phase of bootcamp. I know a week away from scheduled workouts may seem counterintuitive to most other programs but I would put our camper’s retention and lack of injuries up against any Zumba, Body Pump, Kickboxing, or other fitness program available.

If you came to each workout and gave 100% to each day, a week off is exactly what your body needs right now. Without scheduled recovery time, along with proper regeneration strategies your body will break down. When your body begins to break down nagging injuries become more common i.e. tendonitis. Suffering from colds and flus become the norm because your immune system can be easily compromised. And without small scheduled breaks your brain/mind gets bored with the same routine.

This “week-off” is as much for your body as it is your mind. I want you to feel fresh and ready to CRANK IT next Monday when we start our next phase of bootcamp.

Below are a few things you can do this week to prepare for our next phase of bootcamp. If you feel like you still need to CRANK IT this week let me know and you can schedule a semi-private workout in my gym.

1. Myofascial Release – Foam roll or tennis ball roll your feet, hips, back, and chest. If you need some instruction watch this video of me going through a full rolling program.

How does the body release stored body fat? One of the quickest ways for our bodies to release body fat is train/workout at such an intensity that it sends your body into as state of “fight or flight”.

You know that feeling during your workout when you think to yourself “I don’t think I can do one more” or “I don’t think I will be able to finish this workout” or my favorite “If he tells me “only more 10 seconds” one more time I am going to let him have it!”

At this point in your workout your body is releasing hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol into your blood stream to help with your panicked state. What also happens is your body taps into it’s storage of fat to use as fuel. During this time when your heart is raising and you can barely catch your breath you are burning a ton of calories to help your body compensate for the stresses that are being placed on it.

Is this a good thing to do? Yes, but not all the time. That is why we have recovery weeks and take days off from training all together.

This next week, when we get back to our workouts and let yourself get to that state of “HOLY CRAP I DON’T THINK I CAN DO ONE MORE REP!” and know that it is helping you move closer to your fitness/fat loss goals.

It has been a great 3-Weeks capped off by our Fitness Boot Camp Fundraiser for the Ready or Not Foundation. We raised $850 for the Foundation! Not bad for a one hour workout. Checkout out on Channel 6 News.

I have been blown away by our Pinnacle Fitness Boot Camp members commitment to their workouts. Even with a hurricane looming in the Gulf of Mexico and vacation on everyone’s minds they still made their workouts. Keep it UP!

Pinnacle Fitness Boot Camps started its Pinnacle Fitness Challenge in conjunction with the Mayor’s Fitness Council. It is going really well! All 11 participants are seeing significant changes in their body’s and their lives. Lowering blood sugar, losing inches, losing pounds, gaining confidence, getting stronger, etc… are just a few of the comments I have been hearing from the participants.

We also launched our first boot camp 2 go program yesterday. The program consists of video workouts and music provided by Workout Muse. If you haven’t checked out Workout Muse click here to download your next interval workout. Or if you have smart phone check out the Workout Muse App. This App will let you create a music playlist using your own music. While you are working out it will keep count of your work to rest rounds. It is a great training tool for metabolic training like we do in boot camp or cardio intervals you do on your off days.

Next time you are at Freebirds try the Freedom Salad. I ate one yesterday and was pretty fired up about it. Lots of greens, lean chicken, black beans, tomatoes, pico, and guacamole. I didn’t even need salad dressing. 5 Stars!!!!

Have a great week, eat clean, try a recovery workout with a foam roller if you get the opportunity.

I won’t get into the excuses (lack of planning) but I wound up in the Whataburger drive-thru for dinner this evening! I know, I know…

I wanted to share this with you because even when you are stuck (or choose) eating something not on the “Pinnacle Fitness Boot Camp approved food list” you can still make some smart choices. You have to keep your wits about you though. Order what you need, not what is in the picture.

What I had to eat for dinner was:
A Number 2, no cheese, on a wheat bun, with no bun oil, plus extra veggies. Also, I upgraded to have the side salad rather than downing the fries. It was worth the extra $.25 for the salad even if it was only iceburg lettuce and two cherry tomatoes. I didn’t need the extra grease or salt. No one really needs it!

Quick reminder: There is no class on Monday next week. We will meet on Tuesday. I hope you can make it Tuesday.

Also, Saturday July 10th we will be having our Grocery Store Tour at the HEB on Robert and Alameda at 8am.

Then we will be offering a fundraiser for the Ready or Not Foundation at First Christian Church at 10am. This will be a one hour workout you will not want to miss. Invite your friends and family members! All we are asking is a $10 donation. I will be sending out more information regarding the fundraiser.

I hope you have a great 4th of July holiday weekend. Let me know if you need anything.
